Chapter
LXII.—End of the Conference.
“And, therefore, since amongst these
philosophers are things uncertain, we must come to the true
Prophet. Him God the Father wished to be loved by all, and
accordingly He has been pleased wholly to extinguish those opinions
which have originated with men, and in regard to which there is nothing
like certainty—that He the true Prophet might be the more
sought after, and that He whom833

to read quam instead of quem, the sense would be:
that He might lay open to men the way of truth which they had blocked
up. So Whiston. | they had
obscured should show to men the way of truth. For on this account
also God made the world, and by Him the world is filled; whence also He
is everywhere near to them who seek Him, though He be sought in the
remotest ends of the earth. But if any one seek Him not purely,
nor holily, nor faithfully, He is indeed within him, because He is
everywhere, and is found within the minds of all men; but, as we have
said before, He is dormant to the unbelieving, and is held to be absent
from those by whom His existence is not believed.” And when
Peter had said this, and more to the same effect, concerning the true
Prophet, he dismissed the crowds; and when he very earnestly entreated
the old man to remain with us, he could prevail nothing; but he also
departed, to return next day, as had been agreed upon. And after
this, we also, with Peter, went to our lodging, and enjoyed our
accustomed food and rest.
